Hey guys, gonna leave the WoW Scene forever. It was fun!!

PhilipTNG:
Due to various complications in my activities, PayPal has ended up putting me into a debut of a minimum of $10,000 USD.  Due to their terms of usage that Nobody ever reads because the likely hood of something coming back and biting you in the ass is really slim to nonexistant.

Anyway due to me putting game hacks and wow mod downloads on my website, I recieved a backlash from PayPal with Limiting my account for 180 days for The Distributions of Game Hacks and Copyrighted Materials.  Copyrighted materials would be the WoD, MoP, Cataclysm content for WoTLK and other mods like those Cars I've been doing for Cataclysm/WoTLK, as the cars are not my own but rather came from either Need For Speed, Forza, or any other racing game that has their models extracted.

As many of you probably don't know, reverse engineering these files for their 3D data isn't allowed with most game developers, if you read through their terms, you'll eventually find it.  I know it's there for all Need For Speed games after 2006 and many others have followed suit.

Anyway the reason why this happened with PayPal is because I was using their system to accept donations on a website that provided questionable content as well as the possibility of making money from said activities and content.

So My Advice to anyone that is still reading this, I urge you all to stop using PayPal if you are in any way using it while performing activities where you share, sell, distribute information that is not 100% your own and or can harm another person(such as leeching people's unlisted patches and either sharing the listfile or the patch content).

Thankyou for your time, -A

PS, again the chances are low, but all it takes is one person to notify the right group and you'll be here as well.

Shelldon:
Well, there should be a lot of people who appreciates your help.
It was long time ago, but I'm still one of them. Good luck to you and huge thanks for everything you did for modding.

Btw, most people here haven't got their own website or even youtube account, so probably you'll change your decision one day :)

schlumpf:
Well, duh, paypal is evil. Everyone should have noticed by now. I did at least when they banned me for a charged-back credit card donation. Just don't use that thing, use normal bank transfers, done.

MR. Farrare:
never new paypal do such a thing and why now did someone tell about your website ?

Milly:
Wow, that's horrible news. Sorry to hear that happened to you... I'm sure we all appreciate your warning and I hope you figure something out! $10,000 is a pretty ugly fine.
